This Weeks Watercolors From the Twenty Minute Challenge

I've been quite faithful to my goal of doing at least a 20 minute watercolor daily since joining Teri C.'s blog: The Twenty Minute Challenge. This first painting honestly took over the 20 minutes, but I was trying to capture the flow of clothing hanging on back of my bathroom door and was determined to keep trying to get it right. This was my first attempt at the same subject. Now even though there are aspects here I like a lot, the top photo is more in perspective. One day this week I took my paints to work and painted between seeing clients in my office. This is the chair where I sit to talk to people.

I was just doodling with paint and then drew the flowers off a pillow in my office in black in on top of the dry paint.

We can call this one the Leaning Water Bottle of Rubbermaid!

And this was back home again painting while sitting on my back patio looking out

on the very over grown bushes and vines that are all entangled along the back fence

This is such a great way to get better at anything!! My problem is that I know that I would cheat everyday--the 20 minutes would end up being at least an hour. But still, I should try this--I just love these little snippets of your life that you've made into art--what a great journal this would be.

Lynn I just love the bra hanging on the bathroom door. It made me smile.I am up to my neck trying to sort all my crafty stuff into some sense of organiation. Easier said than done cos I have a lot of it, but I can't throw any of it away. Do you feel like that?

Wow 100 followers! Your watercolors are great Lynn! I think you really have a style of your own, which is fabulous. Oh how I wish I could do something again.......Well another few weeks and then this mess will be over.

On Saturday I stopped off in Fairfield on Rockville Road...across the street from an old Victorian we lived in for a year and a half in 1985...

About Lynn Cohen

I started my blog, formerly called "Getting My Feet Wet" in 2007. Then I was posting mainly art quilts and photos of family happenings. In more recent years I started drawing and in 2014 became a regular student in Sketchbook Skool. My art has grown expeditiously since then. Now you will be following along my day to day happenings, as I chronicle them in art journals with ink, colored pencils, watercolor and most recently, Copic markers, which are alcohol based and blend really well. I hope you enjoy the journey with me.

My Art Journal Where I draw nearly daily. You are invited to follow along.

Remembering Patty 1940-2013

Patty and I were best friends for 73 years! I loved playing with her as a little girl living across the street from each other, and I loved playing with her as adult women. Neither of us had a sense of direction and we had fun getting lost in nearby towns and laughing trying to find the car that we may have walked by who knows how many times! I miss that laughter and that friendship. Patty was also my best art critic (she loved everything I did and had pieces of it hanging in every room of her home) Thank you Patty.
